It’s in Zona near Ballittini Hotel and The Large Church. It has a nice quiet traditional vibe. My room 14, was small but it was cleaned everyday. AC , ceiling fan and TV all worked. No condiments given except one roll of toilet paper and one towel which is not changed daily. Breakfast was Traditional American or Traditional Dominican. The Fresh Juice was good. The staff is very nice. They are there to help but not overbearing. Doors are locked at night and must be let in by staff. PLEASE BE PATIENT and Knock Softly. I would recommend for short stays

This hotel is in such a good location. But the owners are simply trying to save money by not doing basic maintenance on any part of it. They didn’t take credit cards, the room was 1/5th of the advertised size, the toilet did not flush, the hot water did not work, the bathroom can be seen from the lobby… and on and on and on. Do yourself a favor. Stay next door at the Belini. It’s expensive but it’s professional. This place is like staying at your dirty neighbor’s house.

None of the common areas, including dining and boutique areas were air conditioned, bath not air conditioned. tried to get wash cloths, hand towels and they never appeared. I got a towel run for a hand towel. Never could get anything more than slightly warm water for bathing and showering. The large tub was actually located in an outside environment which you had to go through to get to the bathroom. The large tub was coated with foreign material and had to be washed before use -- which we never did because of not hot water.

La habitación no era la gran cosa, tenia un extraño olor y mucha humedad. La recepcionista no fue de utilidad con ninguna de nuestras consultas (dirección de un destino turístico, medio de transporte). Nadie fue particularmente amable o atento

Nous avons eu une assez mauvaise expérience avec le personnel de cet hotel et malheureusement, cela a teinté tout le séjour. Très mauvais accueil dès le départ, aucun sourire, pas d'explications sur le fonctionnement de l'hotel, l'heure des déjeuners, etc. On nous somme seulement de payer à l'arrivée l'intégralité du séjour de façon assez rude ma foi, aores nous avoir montré la chambre, j'ai cru qu'il allait défoncer la porte! cune suggestion d'activités ou de recommendations de restaurants dans la capitale. Le propriétaire n'a aucune manières avec ses clients et semble détester le service à la clientèle. Lorsqu'on pose une question, on nous répond sèchement sans plus. Pas d'eau potable pour les clients non plus, ils vendent des bouteilles d'eau et nous ont carrément menti en disant qu'il ne restait plus de déjeuners dominicain alors qu'ils en ont servi à d'autres clients sous nos yeux(!) Je donne rarement d'aussi mauvaises critiques mais pour moi, ça na passe pas. Je ne recommande pas cet hotel malgré sa localisation et ses prix correctes, la chambre avec la sdb adjacente était jolie mais l lits sont durs et la literie tachée. Il y a plein d'hotels dans la capitale, allez voir ailleurs ! Nous nous sommes fait réveillés pratiquement tous les matins entre 7h et 8h, soit par la télévision des voisins, les employés qui parlent fort ou les enfants des autres clients. Jamais, ils se sont excusés pour le dérangement et n'ont proposé de compensations. A mon avis, c'est inacceptable.

The hotel ripped us off of $320. We paid with cash for the sizable discount but they still charged our credit card as well. The hotel will not respo d to my requests.

Quiero resaltar la buena atención al cliente que tienen en este hotel, antes de mi llegada fueron muy amables en darme detalles de mi estancia. Y quiero sugerirles que no reserven la habitación más sencilla porque es bastante incómoda y pequeña, fuera de eso, todo súper.
